VALENTINE LOVE STOCK BANNER EACH

St valentine's dayThere are two stories about St. Valentine, the person Valentine's Day was titled for. One legend says the Emperor forbid marriage because he needed men for this army.  St. Valentine performed marriages for couples who were in love, and for this he was put in prison  The other legend says that St. Valentine fell in love with the jailer's daughter . He was ultimately executed by the Emperor, but on February 14 before he died he wrote a love letter to the jailer's daughter and signed it "From your Valentine." 

This saint's day is a time to honor love.  During the Middles Ages people would congregate in gardens on February 14 to listen to love poems and romantic music.   After awhile folks lost interest in this holiday.  However, it became widespread again n the 17th century when people started sending Valentine's Day cards or, as they are called, valentines.

Valentine's frequently have hearts on them.  This is because people used to think that the heart was the source of one's being and emotions.   Sometimes valentine's feature cupid, a frolicsome child with wings on his back and a bow and arrow in his hand.  Cupid's legend says that if one of his arrows hit you, you instantly fall in love.

Heart Basket
Take an empty cereal box. hold it so that the bottom is angled in a V shape. This will be the V shape of the heart basket. Now cut the front and back of the box in a heart shape. The sides are just cut straight across. Then make a hanger strip/handle out of another box and staple it on the sides. You can spray paint the box and sponge hearts or flowers on it or decorate however you'd like. It ends up looking very cute like a May Day basket that hangs off a door knob.
